Day 2: Lastovo
With its 46 small islands, 46 churches and chapels, 46 vineyards and surrounding sandbanks, is a genuine heaven for lovers of nature, sailing, good food and wine, fishers who angle for tuna and other trophy fish.
Early in history, Greek sailors from South colonies, sailing with their products to historic Illyria, named the island Ladesta, Ladeston or Ladoston, because of its similarities to the island Lado in the Ionic sea. Romans gave the island its Latin name – Insula Augusta – Emperor’s island. During the Middle Ages this name would be transcribed as Augusta, Lagusta, Lagosta. Slavic suffix –ovo combined with Roman form of Lasta gives the island present name of Lastovo.
The archipelago of Lastovo is one of the richest and best preserved areas of biodiversity in the Mediterranean. As a result
of its isolated geographical position, the area is rich in endemic species and the richness of the seabed is due to the abundance
and variety of the zoo plankton.

Along the south shore of the island of Hvar there is another small island of Šćedro. Protected as a nature park, in its untouched beauty, with many hidden coves, it provides an intimate experience to every visitor and once you feel the charm of those quiet coves, sweet aromas of nature and glimmering sun on crystal clear water you would want to stay forever.
Since the Ancient times Šćedro coves have been known as good places for anchorage and safe harbours, quite possibly one of the most epic battles like the one between Pompeius and Caesar in 49 B.C., might have happened here as numerous discoveries in the depths around Šćedro attest to. Long time ago because of the somewhat more humid climate than that on the island of Hvar, wheat was cultivated on Šćedro.On the hill there is an old abandoned village called Nastane, which will take you back to history with its picturesque stone houses.

Day 6: Stari Grad (Hvar) or Maslinica (Šolta)
Stari Grad literally means “old city”. Formerly known as Faros, is one of the oldest cities in Europe and here, everything is 100% organic! The story of Faros began in 384 BC when the ancient Greeks from the island of Paros sailed into Stari Grad Bay and founded the town. In 2016 Stari Grad celebrated and important anniversary – 2400 years! It is a charming town with restaurants, cafes and friendly town residents. The island’s best agricultural land opens up to the east of Stari Grad town. This fertile plain has been farmed since pre-historic times, and the Greek field layout is still largely intact, thanks to continuing maintenance over the years of its dry stone walls. In 2008, the Stari Grad Plain became a UNESCO protected world heritage site.
Maslinica brings you into the heart of the central Dalmatian Islands just to the south of the busy port of Split on the mainland. This small harbor on the isle of Šolta is known for its beauty and quiet ambience, its olive groves and its fine beaches. In fact, its name is derived from the word maslina, which means olive. Once reliant solely on fishing, Maslinica has in recent years begun catering to tourists who come for the serenity, the delicious food in the taverns, and to relax on the beach.
